TOPICS > Nation > memorial day. Nearly 500,000 military personnel died during the U.S. Civil War. Thatâs almost half of all Americans who have ever died during wartime, and more than a hundred times more than died during the American Revolution, according to the latest estimates from the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Coca-Cola (KO) owns Dasani and PepsiCo (PEP) owns the Aquafina line of bottled water. But they are running into a problem -- selling bottled water isn't very profitable, and there is a deeply competitive market responding quickly to shifting consumer tastes.
Most people are surprised to learn that theyâre drinking glorified tap water, but bottlers arenât required to list the source on the label. This year Aquafina will begin stating on labels that its H2O comes from public water sources.
